drop in teen pregnancy, due to prevnar?

Someone posted on this group about the polysorbate 80 in prevnar and the theory that polysorbate 80 causes infertility.

Then I remembered that 2012 saw the lowest rate in teen pregnancy since the 1940's (or maybe even earlier).

And putting two and two together. Prevnar became mandated by the US government in 2001. That means that kids in the age range of 4-5 were probably getting these vaccines before school. So that would make them about 15-17 years old now.

Not really anyway of telling. We'll have to wait 10 or so years & see if infertility complaints are up. Even then, it wouldn't be concrete proof of anything. (Also I'm not sure, but aren't there other vaxxes with poly...-80 or is that the only one? It's been awhile since I checked the ingredient list).

What about that HCG diet? (Ppl taking pregnancy hormones to lose weight.) What if that can cause infertility? That might drive up the numbers of infertile women (although I have no idea how many ppl have tried it.)

Too many unknowns.

Eta: So, you guys haven't had problems with HCG diet & pregnancy? That's good! I googled a bit & didn't see any complaints on the interwebz, either.

I think Prevnar is the only "required" vax which has polysorbate 80. I was looking at the ingredients list of only the vaxes that were required and that was the only one I saw. Didn't check chicken pox, but that's more recent, so if polysorbate 80 is causing infertility in our teens to explain their lack of teen pregnancies, it's probably from Prevnar.

I have to say I find it really disturbing that our government orders these vaccines for everyone without doing the studies and without anyone being liable if they prove dangerous. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I don't see how big pharma has any incentive whatsoever to make sure what they are handing out doesn't cause chronic problems -- since they are the ones who get to come up with more drugs to prescribe for chronic issues. The conflict of interest issue works on so many levels here it isn't even funny.

After reading about Prevnar/polysorbate 80 the decision to not vax became very easy for us. I'm still on the fence about eventually giving her DTaP and MMR, when she's like 5, *maybe*. But the government can eat me on the others. I am officially Christian Scientist now :)

I wonder if anyone on the vaccine watchdog field is looking into it. Of course we have no true testing of vaccines so we can't expect the scientists to have answers. Cause we all saw what happens when a scientist takes on pharma (rip the career of dr. Wakefield).
